The 154th Open will be played at Royal Birkdale in 2026.
The iconic Southport links has previously hosted golf’s original Championship on ten occasions, the last of which was in 2017 when Jordan Spieth emerged victorious in a memorable final-round duel with Matt Kuchar to lift the Claret Jug for the first time.
The American joined a celebrated roll of Champion Golfers at Royal Birkdale, including Peter Thomson, Arnold Palmer, Lee Trevino, Johnny Miller, Tom Watson, Ian Baker-Finch, Mark O’Meara and Padraig Harrington.
We look forward to another special occasion in three years and it will be fascinating to see which player will emerge to join a list of renowned Champion Golfers to have won at Royal Birkdale

Catastrophic tee shot on 13. Goes on to play Jedi level golf through the next 5 🏆
I thought laying your driver down to show you the line of the Flag was illegal in the rules of golf? See 14:17..
Fantastic performance closing that win out
should never have been given that amount of time to play it… had a negative impact to the other players. Should have been penalised shots for slow play
I had NO idea the Open was being held. Glad Spieth won.
Nothing more pathetic than grown men running to be closest to the ball
Spieth got preferential treatment here. Not a good moment for the British open to highlight in my opinion
The people are absolutely ridiculous the way they act!
Great to see the first HIT review! Great setup! Looking forward to the reviews, so I can decide upon my next club purchase
You deserve to be smacked in the face with a ball if contiune not to move out of the way. Refs where very forgiving for let him take so long
I wish there were that many people looking for my ball whenever I hit a banana slice off the tee like that
When was this?
"The Great Escape"
what a fantastic shot from the range
i remember watching live with my GF and even her palms were sweating… truly a miracle shot
kuch close to make birde made things even more crazy
to think that then he went to almost made a hole in one in the next shot, holly cow….. then eagle on the next hole i mean, the force is just strong with this one, i knew i was going to be a fan of Jordan forever after this….. amazing champion
"Meanwhile, Matt Kuchar is wishing he'd brought a good book."
If I had a hundred people immediately locating my ball, I’d shoot much lower scores.
Don't you just love it when the commentator says that the drive is catastrophic and the player then goes on to win The Open Championship! Where do they find these people?
Play the ball it lies stupid cheater!
Absolute disgrace. His line was 30 yards to the left and he knew it.
Ridiculous, should of made him tee off again , how is that not out of bounds, making your playing partner wait that long is not on
There should be suspentions or massive fines for this kind of nonsense.
Funnier than Mr. Bean plays golf.
10 minutes to make one shot
You are disqualified
Should have got a slow play penalty – this whole sequence is a joke
Dropped in completely the wrong place! Were the official on drugs? Why didn't they say something? Why wasn't he disqualified after the fact? Scandalous!
